Re: Countdown March 9 1975??

Sadly people back then wouldn't have dreamt in a million years the ABC would wipe all those 1970's episodes or everyone would have kept their audio/U-Matic/Video recordings - a great shame indeed.....

Episode 2 of 1975 do you mean? As episode 2(actual)was broadcast for around a half hour slot in November 1974 if my faded memory serves.


Yes episode 2 of 1975, the 2nd colour episode. Episode 1 (John Farnham) was, from memory, shown at midnight March 1 1975 to introduce colour TV and then shown again on Sunday March 2. Therefore March 9 would be episode 2. I don't have the playlists for these early episodes so couldn't confirm that.

Possible it's 3/9/75? Closest I can come to is the ep of 7/9/75..date maybe the other way around? It's certainly not in any listings I have..


9/3/1975 would appear to be the right date as William Shakespeare was No1 in the 1st episode so would probably be played again the following week if it was still No1. 7/9/1975 was hosted by Marty Rhone and had different acts on.

Re: Countdown March 9 1975??

One would reasonably assume Rage would have happily played this episode if it actually existed in full rather than repeating yet another 1970's episodes - which no one really wants them to do.

I'd love to see it of course but perhaps it's just a segment tape and not the whole show. I'd still love Rage to show the 'damaged' 1978 Adelaide Festival episode in full......although I somehow have a feeling we may see something special Countdown related as we head towards its 40th anniversary later this year.....
